1Item meminerimus singulas litteras tam in Graecis quam 2in Latinis generis esse neutri. Dicimus enim ‘unum alfa’, ‘unum 3beta’, ‘unum gamma’; sic et aliae litterae; plurali ‘duo alfa’, ‘duo 4beta’, ‘duo gamma’; sic ‘tria alfa’, ‘tria beta’, ‘tria gamma’. Inde 5est illud ‘τρία κάππα κάκιστα’, id est ‘tria cappa pessima’, de 6Cornelio Sylla, de Cornelio Cinna, de Cornelio Lentulo. Hii 7enim ‹per› tres litteras tyranni designati sunt in libris Sibyllinis. 8Est et unum nomen generis neutri in ‘a’, ut ‘flumen Turia’, 9ut supra diximus. 7De genere communi. Genus commune exit per ‘a’, ut 8‘advena’: declinatur nom. ‘hic’ et ‘haec advena’, gen. ‘huius advenae’, 9dat. ‘huic advenae’, acc. ‘hunc’ et ‘hanc advenam’, voc. ‘o 1, 10advena’, abl. ‘ab hoc’ et ‘ab hac advena’ et plur. nom. ‘hi’ et ‘hae 11advenae’, gen. ‘horum’ et ‘harum advenarum’, dat. ‘his advenis’, 12acc. ‘hos’ et ‘has advenas’, voc. ‘o advenae’, abl. ‘ab his advenis’. 13Ad hanc formulam declinabis ‘Troiugena’, ‘indigena’, ‘incola’, 14‘convena’, ‘caelicola’, ‘sacricola’ [Publicola], ‘agricola’, ‘terricola’, 15‘ruricola’, ‘urbicola’, ‘plebicola’, ‘Numida’, ‘Dalmata’, ‘lucifuga’, 16‘Persa’, ‘Romulida’ et cetera. 1In nominativo ‘e’ et ‘i’ non habet genus commune, id est 2non exit in ‘e’ nec in ‘i’, sed in ‘o’, ut ‘latro’: nom. ‘hic’ et ‘haec | 3latro’, gen. ‘huius latronis’, dat. ‘huic latroni’, acc. ‘hunc’ et ‘hanc 4latronem’, voc. ‘o latro’, abl. ‘ab hoc’ et ‘ab hac latrone’ et plur. 1, 5nom. ‘hi’ et ‘hae latrones’, gen. ‘horum’ et ‘harum latronum’, 6dat. ‘his latronibus’, acc. ‘hos’ et ‘has latrones’, voc. ‘o latrones’, 7abl. ‘ab his latronibus’.

Ad hanc formulam declinantur 11‘sospes’, ‘dives’, ‘locuples’, ‘hospes’, licet ‘hospitam’ dixerit Virgilius, 12‘hospita tellus’, 13‘miles’, ‘veles’ (levis armaturae miles), ‘interpres’, ‘ales’, ‘praepes’, 14‘praes’ (id est ‘fideiussor’) et cetera. 16Exit et in ‘is’, ut ‘similis’: nom. ‘hic’ et ‘haec similis’, gen. 17‘huius similis’, dat. ‘huic simili’, acc. ‘hunc’ et ‘hanc similem’, 18voc. ‘o similis’, abl. ‘ab hoc’ et ‘ab hac simili’ et plur. nom. ‘hi’ et 19‘hae similes’, gen. ‘horum’ et ‘harum similium’, dat. ‘his simili- 20bus’, acc. ‘hos’ et ‘has similes’, voc. ‘o similes’, abl. ‘ab his similibus’. 21Ad hanc formulam declinantur ‘agilis’, ‘facilis’, ‘fragilis’, 22‘vilis’, ‘nobilis’, ‘mobilis’, ‘dulcis’, ‘humilis’, ‘mitis’, ‘lenis’, ‘levis’, 23‘mollis’, ‘civis’, ‘testis’, ‘hostis’, ‘tristis’, ‘fortis’, ‘suavis’, ‘frugalis’, 24‘crudelis’, ‘inanis’, ‘gracilis’, ‘inmanis’ et cetera. 1Exit per ‘os’, ut ‘sacerdos’: nom. ‘hic’ et ‘haec sacerdos’, 2gen. ‘huius sacerdotis’, dat. ‘huic sacerdoti’, acc. ‘hunc’ et ‘hanc 3sacerdotem’, voc. ‘o sacerdos’, abl. ‘ab hoc’ et ‘ab hac sacerdote’ 4et plur. nom. ‘hi’ et ‘hae sacerdotes’, gen. ‘horum’ et ‘harum sacerdotum’, 1, 5dat. ‘his sacerdotibus’, acc. ‘hos’ et ‘has sacerdotes’, 6voc. ‘o sacerdotes’, abl. ‘ab his sacerdotibus’.

Sed ideo in ‘tis’ 13syllabam exeunt, non in ‘pis’, ut ‘principis’, ‘mancipis’, quia a 14capitis significatione veniunt, illa autem superiora a capiendi 15sig­nificatione. ‘Princeps’ enim dictus est, quod primus capiat, et 16‘manceps’, quod manu capiat; ‘anceps’ autem dictus est, quod 17dubii capitis sit vel inclinati capitis in utramque partem.
